STATEMENT FROM COUNCILMAN MARK GJONAJ REGARDING 2500 WILLIAMSBRIDGE ROAD


  Tuesday, March 03, 2020,

   Today, my office was informed that the property at 2500 Williamsbridge Road was recently sold. I have reached out to the purchaser to discuss their intentions for the site and they would not confirm the final use of the property. We have been informed by the New York State Office of Government Affairs and Federal Policy that no application has been filed for this site at this time. While we are not able to confirm the intended use of this location, my opposition to it being used as a treatment center remains firm.

This site is in close proximity to a school, house of worship and a residential community – which makes its use as a treatment center a nonstarter. I will continue to work with elected officials, government agencies and local leaders to explore all available means to ensure that this property is used in a way that is consistent with its surroundings and wishes of the community.

We will continue to keep you informed as we learn more.
If you have any questions, please contact our office at 718-931-1721 or Mgjonaj@council.nyc.gov
